Now here is an extract from thu
n. Y. STIR of Jan. %, a strong adj
mlnistratiou paper whose edltsr
Dorshemer, thinks tue sun rises anC
sets in Cleveland.
MIR. Henry Watterson sends t,
the Sun a letter dated at Washing,
ton, in which he states that he eu
counters among the Senators, among
the Representatives. among the PEG
pie. but one sentiment, ana thai
is dIscOntent and foreboding."
Here is another from the sam,
paper:
"Ttere have been this week two
sets Of promotions in the Custom
House, resulting in fifteen appoint
ments to places OF Importance. O
the fifteen appointed not one is {
Democrat. In one set Democra
who passed the examination witt
high ratings failed to receive place
In he other, five Democrats ant
four RepuhEc LIS were ON the elIgi-
b1e list. The four Republicans were
all promoted, but. not one Of th,
Democrats although tleir rating.
wee not 50 lo1 as to exclude them
If Ne ComptU ion for these place!

selection Of the names rests witt
Republicans who are old incum
hents and prefer their old-tlme a.
Sociates in OfIitill and patty lif-
No matter how able or we'll qualities
a Democrat out of the service NAV
be, he cannot compete fot vacant
place."
